Content

Fundamental processes of the Climategeosystem will be addressed. Especially Cliamtegeology and Climategeomorphology are in the focus, meaning the impacts of climatic changes on the solide earth surface, our landscape.

The lecture will offer the ability to undertand the Climategeosystem of the earth and to realise the temporary and spatial effects of climatic changes on our environmental system, as a whole.

Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

Participants will be able
-To explain fundamental processes of the Climategeosystem of the earth
-To understand (Paleo)Climate variability in the natural and anthopogenic context
-To connect past and recent landscape development with (paleo)climatic context
-To know and to evaluate methods of natural climate archive- and landscape reconstructions
-To discuss consequences of dynamic climate changes on the landscape ecological system
